Secretive Papal Voting Holds to a Detailed Script

By DANIEL J. WAKIN 9:26 PM ET

VATICAN CITY — The conclave to elect a pope, which starts Tuesday, begins with prayers and ends with the unveiling of the supreme pontiff.

Before I knew it, the train pulled into a tiny station, and the touts and hawkers were replaced by a few young men meekly asking if I needed a taxi. We drove past a moving collage of small-town India: squat buildings, women in saris riding sidesaddle on motor scooters, men in rickshaws selling banners emblazoned with verses from the Great Poet, tailors working from sidewalk shops, a sign for the “Tagore Institute of Management for Excellence.” Fifteen minutes later, I entered the lush grounds of the Mitali inn — and exhaled.

China Explores a Frontier 2 Miles Deep

By WILLIAM J. BROAD 14 minutes ago

China has unveiled a submersible designed to go deeper than any other in the world, giving it access to 99.8 percent of the ocean floor and its minerals.

Memories of Peking is a serial of five books which unveil the mysterious yashmak of the ancient city of Beijing (Peking) in two aspects: the court life (in the Ch’ing dynasty) and the folklife during the Ch’ing(Qing) dynasty and the period of the Republic of China. What is noteworthy is that the authors of those books are all from the West; they had lived in Beijing for a time, long or short and some had even served as government officials. Their personal experiences give the serial great historic significance and documentary values.
